Trooper Endre Samu, a spokesman for the state police post in Morehead, said the shooting appeared to be unrelated to a fatal stabbing in Powell County about 12 hours earlier.

In that case, Kelly McCoy, 50, was killed and his neighbor Terrance Wagner, 67, was charged with murder after a heated argument, state police and the county coroner said.

McCoy was visiting Wagner at his home on First Avenue in Clay City when the two began arguing. Wagner allegedly grabbed a knife and stabbed McCoy, killing him, state police said in a news release.

Powell County Coroner Hondo Hearn said the killing came as a surprise to those who knew the men. The two neighbors previously had been friendly with each other, he said. "There wasn't any hard feelings between them, as far as I know, before this incident," he said. It was not clear Sunday what the men were arguing about.

Hearn said he pronounced McCoy dead at the scene from a single stab wound about 6:10 p.m., about 40 minutes after state police and emergency medical responders were called to the home.
